Hello All,

I really like how Chromium Code Search perform code parsing and indexing. Is there any chance to make the project open source?

Unfortunately, at this time the code used to index, cross-reference, and serve our codesearch is mostly shared with closed-source systems that are used by Google's internal teams. We'd love for it to be open source as well, but it is highly unlikely that a system that tightly coupled with Google's internal tech stack will ever be openly released, and writing our own from the ground up would be significantly more work than we have the resources for.

You may be interested in https://github.com/google/codesearch and https://swtch.com/~rsc/regexp/regexp4.html. These links describe and implement the basic algorithm that was used to index source code for CodeSearch. O'course there is still plenty of work to be done to make it truly work like CodeSearch, but I found the article interesting to read and tool to be useful for searching code stored on a local computer.

This came up as part of the research while being pushed into the "latest and greatest" version control system (aptly named git).
 
Code Review - Gerrit (non-negotiable)
Code Search - Zoekt (serious props for being in Go)
Issue Tracker - Monorail/Storyboard/Bugzilla
Monitor - Zuul (with Storyboard)
CI - Jenkins
